Hi Lori,
I have booked a stay for myself and a friend at the Pop Century Resort for the Princess 1/2 marathon. What time will the the food court open during the princess weekend. We are doing the glass slipper challenge!
Thanks

Hi Katherine!

The Glass Slipper Challenge is such a great addition to the runDisney race line-up! You are lucky you got in, because it filled up super fast!

The Pop Century food court has normal operating hours starting at 6:30 a.m. Obviously, that is too late for you on race morning! Sometimes, food courts will open early during special events, but you will just have to find out at your front desk if that will be the case.

Normally, I go to the resort gift shop the day before my race and buy some bagels and anything else I may want to eat on race mornings and keep it in my room. There will also be some food trucks selling drinks and food at the race start area, so you could also just head over early to eat there.

Just be sure to eat something that you normally eat before a run. You don't want to try to eat something brand new and then get sick during the race!

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions:)
